My husband and I go out for Black Friday every year. I've never had a bad experience though. I think it may depend on the area you're in. I probably wouldn't go if I lived in a larger area where there could be potentially thousands of people in attendance. I read that someone got trampled in New York today. No deal is that good for me. So, I'm lucky enough to live in a smallish town where everyone was really nice. I had fun shopping today.

I am glad you had a happy Black Friday experience, Stephanie. AND you are exactly right, JMHO, about city experiences. Extra traffic, people shoving, pushing, and fighting over merchandise...........take me back to my Charlie Brown tree first!

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year! Charles Dickens
